I don't have anything to measure with but I had a Cimo TPU case and it was the same size from what I remember, I gave the case to a friend.

I actually got some 3M di-noc tape but I didn't do to well cutting the camera hole out and wasn't happy with it. That's why I went with the skinomi skin. Luckily skinomi kept sending me the wrong order so I ended up with 3 screen protectors and 2 silver carbon fiber skins.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
is the cimo around the same size as the diztronic? i have a incipio silicrylic too but that one is too big for the car mount.

how did you cut it? what i did for my atrix was used some masking tape to make the outline how i want it and put that on the di-noc then used a razor to cut it. for some of the bigger holes like the camera i just cut the holes after the tape it on with an ex-acto knife. heres a pic how it turned out, the tricky part for me was the corners but using a hairdryer helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hellosunnydays:
who, bagech

Just an update. Heard from SPIGEN today that they have no plans to produce the Ultra Capsule for the CDMA model :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] T-Keith:
I got the same response, keep nagging them, maybe they will change their minds.

Makes no sense, there was a story a while back that said the Nexus was the number 2 selling Verizon phone in December and number 3 in January. Why was would they ignore this huge market?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tigersgt:
I have the Neo Hybird for about a month and it starts to get loosen. The back is no longer stick to the phone. Looks like the heat of the phone is causing this. Anyone has the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
anyone looking to sell their neo hybrid send me a pm.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Enhanced:
Read the last few pages. A reported problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chad_Petree:
Does anyone here has the ultra hybrid + the sgp steinheil flex ? the oleophobic is supposed to be smaller than the nexus screen but i dont know about the flex, i'm afraid the case will ruin the screen protector :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Z51:
Just received mine and it's a perfect fit. Everything lines up right. Nothing stretched. Just perfect. Best case I've ever had. I got the white sgp hybrid:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxproblemzxx:
Pics? and I'm guessing you have the GSM version?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] albsat:
Does anybody knows a store that sells a case + screen in combo?

There are such offer from Sgp for galaxy s2 and Note.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Here are my actual cases for my Gnex , along with my brand new iPhone!!!!

Like my collection??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Just get the flex and report me back, i posted a picture of my Ultra Hybrid. I know you wanted in black right? hehe

I wanted to put the flex.. but after thinking about it... it's too expensive. Nah. i just spent $140 in extras for my Nexus... I am using the OEM Samsung extended 2100mah battery + all the other cases you see in the picture.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moondrius:
I just got the Ultra Hybrid in the mail and it seems to be warped around the volume rocker. Anytime I touch the left side of the phone the volume button is being pushed down. Pressing volume up also hits volume down. I am guessing I got a bad case. Anyone elses have any issues like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeM01:
yes. I accidentally ordered the ultra, and am still waiting on the neo hybrid.

I took an exacto and shaved the litted dimple inside the button on the case. the idea is that its easier to depress the buttons. they made it a bit too thick, and its actually depressing the volume & power.

little careful shaving and it will work the way you want. now the headphone jack....I'm still trying to figure that out. I need to enlarge it so I can connect it to my car's 3.5mm wire, which is a little on the big side.

in the end, I paid $25 for a case I had to modify. not the best result.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Nope. I have a purple yellow... and my volume buttons work flawlessly. If i press from the center to up .. it goes up and viceversa. My buttons work as they should, i have never had a misplaced press.

Strange. Try and replace it with a new one. I use GSM with stock & extended battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moondrius:
I was thinking about making that modification but I am thinking about just returning it. I really like the case but the buttons suck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akack:
Just got my neo-hybrid case today for GSM GNex with regular battery and would highly recommend it

Was using the Diztronic V3 and would advise paying $15 more for the neo-hybrid. The fit and quality of the neo-hybrid case is much better compared to the Diztronic, granted the Diztronic is only $ 10.

I can't comment about the sagging of the silicone around the camera yet since it's only been a day, but will update in a few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] antikryst:
does it line up perfectly now? been thinking about shaving that dimple too.

how much did you shave off? how does the volume presses feel after modification? i think its the perfect case apart from the volume part.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkreventon:
I'm wondering if leaving the silicone part in the fridge or even freezer over night or so will make it contract to it's original shape.

I've just ordered a Neo Hybrid Silver case a few hours ago from ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
I posted this on another thread... but will post here.

These are pictures of my Ultra Hybrid with the 2100mah Extended Bat. Right side with the Volume Rocker is the one less than perfect, about in the middle areas as was said. I'm going to take a front one in a while. Left side is 98% perfect, better fitted than the Volume Rocker-SGP logo one. (You don't see that much of the gap as this...)

Anyhow...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkreventon:
What is the difference between the CDMA and GSM model of the nexus? I wonder if buying an extended 2000mah battery for my GSM model will make my nexus thicker than the verizon model or somehow not to fit the case that well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] asianrage:
CDMA version for both VZW and Sprint is thicker than the GSM model.

Having the extended battery in the GSM model will make it only slightly thicker than normal, though won't be as thick as the CDMA version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dkreventon:
So I shouldn't worry about buying a 2000mah battery.

I think that this is the case after a google image search. They say about the thickness.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juaninamillion:
Just got mine today! I love it! Completely changed the look! Only prob I had was the inside edge of the top is pretty scuffed. I contacted the seller but got no response. Maybe an exact o knife?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
Damn and I thought my phone was too thin...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] its_ritz:
Is this case worth the 25 or should I go with the ultra capsule?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ninsassin:
I can say that I'm another user that got the sagging from the Neo Hybrid. I got the silver one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mursepaolo:
I love this
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MilkPudding:
I have Ultra Hybrid (NOT Neo Hybrid) and Capsule. Ultra Hybrid is definitely a more valued purchase even though it's more expensive because Capsule is just a TPU case with slightly better cuttings than most of the dirt cheap ones on ebay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] its_ritz:
Thanks for your input. There's a black Neo Hybrid on flea-bay thats on auction. I might be able to score it for less than retail. I'll definitely check it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andr3wchong:
can someone verify why SGP neo hybrid has problem with the micro-usb fitting on certain GNEX ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PhoenixBlitz:
Out of all the SGP cases, which is the most rigid/protective? Also, are these cases better than Otterboxes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernosoft:
So, they've supposedly been working on making these cases for the LTE version of the Gnex since January, but I can't find any updates on it.

Have they made one for the LTE version yet? I really like this case but won't buy it if it's not available for the LTE version:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gahh Its Lee:
The otter box is one on the toughest cases is just really big which keeps most away from it. These are small and offer ALOT less protection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] micks_address:
just got my 'Dante red' neo hybrid in the post this morning.. its a sweet case.. fits my gsm version of the galaxy very well... the packaging is excellent.. probably over the top though! i'd prefer a cheaper cost and less packaging but it is a nice package.

wasnt sure which colour to go for but the red is classy..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
Bad news guys, SGP is lying about the looks of the Ultra Capsule.

On the photo, it has a "chin" but the ones they are sending (including me) don`t.

They sent me a version wich has a flat back, as seen on the extended battery version, so it will fit all phones.

I am going to complain at amazon so i can have my money back.

Take a look at the "chin" on the photo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
I got the silver one today. It's a little more protective than I usually get, but it looks good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hexxor93:
I got mine from Ebay a couple of months ago, mines has got a chin bit :eek: Mine fits perfectly as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyberon:
So there are two versions? :confused:

With no "chin", mine is completely loose on the back, if you press it it has almost 3mm of loose space, and on the bothom there is no "chin" at all, its straight flat. :mad:

Take a look at the picture, the one on the left is a cheap ebay case, and the one on the right is SGP.

The difference is obvious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mvtm:
Here's me with my ultra hybrid :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webdave:
I didn't see a straight forward answer. Can anyone tell me if the Neo Hybrid fits a GSM Nexus with the OEM extended battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mrsbelpit:
It seems to fit pretty perfectly on mine without the extended battery, but the only part you need to worry about is seemingly stretchable rubber. I think you would be ok. (that's the 2100 mAh battery, right?)

Anyway, I came in here to say that I dropped my phone right on it's face from about 3 feet while polishing it on my hip. The Neo hybrid is awesome, not a scratch. The rubber lip definitely protected it better than my Ringke case would have.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Infinite76:
I have a trident kraken and its a tank. So I ordered a neo hybrid for my everyday needs.

From the mind of Minolta
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mbh87:
Couple of questions to those with the Neo Hybrid.

1. Did yours come with a authentication number card?

2. Did yours come with a screen protector from a different phone?

3. On the inside silicon does yours says "Neo Hybrid" or "Eo Hybrid"?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
does this add significant weight and thickness to the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] saidts:
Don't buy Hybrid

With less than four months of use the rubber on back of the case (SGP Case Neo Hybrid) becomes loose:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
Just got my ultra capsule today and the fit is not that great. I have a gsm nexus and it seems like its made for the CDMA version. I wrote SGP and complained. If they do have two different versions, they don't list it. :banghead:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vincentistan:
Thinking of buying the ultra capsule from the spigen store, has anyone else encountered problems with a flat surface (missing chin)?

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

There is only a GSM version, it does fit the CDMA version though, with a tight fit instead of protruding lips on the side :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stormzors:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] builtboosted:
I bought mine directly from SPIGEN, and it does not have the chin. Also they said "no refunds"

From SPIGEN. " Would you mind sending us a photo of the product you received? I will be able to verify whether you received the correct item or not.

I love the white capsule but in the sun its so glittery! thats the only thing i hate lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jcagara08:
Was incredibly happy with my purchase and it was genuine as per the cheesy serial number checking in their site, was so much of a new galaxy for me compared to the cheap silicone ones, BUT bad news guys, hate to spoil the fun but it discolors so easily that you need to be in a nurse uniform to maintain the pure white color, see attached.. next time i will buy the dark colors.. Lesson learned.. If you wear black pants to work, this should be out of your pocket always..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rldev:
I just got the ultra capsule and it is a huge disappointment on the verizon gnex. It is a sloppy fit and does not protect the the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FSRBIKER:
Im wondering the same thing, if the back is actually silicone and not tpu it should stretch enough. Now will it work with the extended battery is even more of an issue,maybe like the Otter Box Commuter without the battery door?

This is a perfect case imo, surrounded by a shock absorbing material with the edges protected with hard plastic for impacts. Hope they make a LTE version, with Sprint selling it as well the market size will grow.

---------- Post added at 11:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

Can you let us know who responded to you, I'm sure if we contact the same person with the interest in a LTE case that might get the ball rolling.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
The case is pretty snug. It isn't falling off by any means. The fit is pretty great IMO and looks to be designed for the "hump" of the extended battery back plate. It doesn't bow IN like the standard plate does.

But it seems the case is not wide enough. Basically there is a little lip that goes around the screen and grabs on to the sides. This lip is where the problem is. It flips and snags the corners and in some areas but has problems on the sides near the buttons.

It is pretty unnoticeable unless you specifically look for it.

I've tried removing the backcover (thinking it would give it a few extra mm) but it just created a sag on the back and didn't fit any better. It really fits fine without it. But I think the buttons aren't aligned correctly thus pushing out the sides near the buttons.

I've contemplated on cutting out the buttons and seeing how that would work but honestly it works so well now I'm afraid I'd ruin the case.

So the top and bottom lip correctly catches the edges of the phone, but it pulls away alittle near the buttons. The misalignment is so minor that a camera probably won't see it. You really have to twist it in different light sources and compare parallel lines to notice it.

Also what's odd, is that the bottom of the phone (with the extended battery) fits great. What I thought would be the problem area wasn't the problem at all. It's the buttons. Perhaps the depth of the top portion is off a MM or two.

All in all the case is a good buy @ $16.99.

I heard the new Diztronic (or whatever) TPU REV3 cases have the power and volumes button cut out and have a better fit. The LIP seems much bigger around the screen though (which is something I don't want) but they are cheaper too around $10.99. I also think they come with a screen protector.

The SGP has a good overall feel and I like the material used. I have the black which is a shiney gloss with sparkles in it. I could have gone without the sparkles but it does add a quality to it. Looks like a car with a good paint job, metalic kinda.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RaptorMD:
Will they offer one that fits the extended battery, I hope they do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
It fits the Verizon version the same with or without the extended battery. The extended battery bottom portion actually fits perfectly. Its the top around the button areas that is the problem.

I'm still using mine. It works perfectly except the lip doesn't catch on the side like it should around the buttons. Its barely noticeable. My co worker inspected it and said it was a perfect fit. After I pointed out the issue he had to really look at it to notice it off slightly.

I ordered that Diztronic v3 case today off Amazon today. It supposedly fits better but we'll see. I'm pretty happy with the SGP Capsule case. The new case would have to really shine to make me switch.

This cases got my attention, but i'm not too fond of the Neo Hybrid having glossy in the frame and matte in the battery cover, is the glossy part slippery?

What about the ultra caasule, too slippery?

Any pictures of the actual products and pictures with the cases installed on the galaxy nexus?

Which other colors?

Here is a video review of the case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calubren:
It seems that the Neo Hybrid Cases are finally available on eBay Klickerdiklick.

I asked SGP if they will fit with my GNx (GSM) + 2000 mAh battery and waiting

for a answer.

Will it be a tight fit because of the silicon back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4Pr3mier:
I emailed them about the Neo Hybrid EX series without the matte backing. Basically it is a bumper style case that would not interfere with the battery/cover. This is what they said:

Thank you for contacting SGPstore.com Customer Service Department. Hi, my name is Sue from SGPstore.com.

We do not have any definite plans to make the EX case for the Nexus, however, that is a great idea and I will forward your email to our manufacturer. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again.

Thank you.

Also, just so you know. I had the Neo Hybrid case for my iphone and the silicone/tpu back of the Neo Hybrid tends to stretch and sag over time. It is pretty thin, which is why it looks and feels so nice when new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Wonder if you can use the Hybrid case as a stencil and cut out the portion of the TPU that is required for the metal (or whatever the second layer is)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] calubren:
How is it after some weeks? Will it wore out /look worn out? Because if the back of the Neo Hybrid stretches a bit, it "might" fit the Gnex + ext. battery?

The SGP support said that the Ultra Capsule will be a tight fit and the Neo Hybrid is not recommended with the extended battery.

Fresh from my GN
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 4Pr3mier:
I'm pretty sure you can cut out the back, but then you void the warranty. If I could get the case for cheap, then I'd consider that. The colors are real nice.

The material started sagging after a month. SGP does allow exchanges for a new ones, but they really should change composition of the material to something else.

The extended battery back will probably fit after it has sagged a bit, but there will be some gaps where dust can come in.
